enESA's Heterogeneous Missions Accessibility (HMA) work yields EO Satellite Ground Segment Interoperability Manual http://www.opengeospatial.org/blog/1662
<p>The Heterogeneous Missions Accessibility (HMA)
manual [1], freely downloadable from the ESA web site [2], provides a high
level view on the results of several years of harmonisation and standardisation
work in &nbsp;the critical area of ground
segment interoperability of Earth Observation satellite missions.&nbsp; The coordinated effort of the European space
and downstream industries, research centres, agencies and institutions has made
a significant contribution to the definition of geospatial standards published
within the Open Geospatial Consortium. Earth Observation systems are inherently
varied in design, sensor and ground segment capability, to respond to different
requirements from users, mission stakeholders and funding bodies.</p><p><a href="http://www.opengeospatial.org/blog/1662" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://www.opengeospatial.org/blog/1662#commentsEO satelliteESAHeterogeneous Missions AccessibilityHMAmanualOGCPier Giorgio MarchettiWed, 08 Aug 2012 18:31:48 +0000Lance McKee1662 at http://www.opengeospatial.org
